Ragebound just came out and it was great
Shinobi is out soon and the demo was super fun

I think you hold one of the triggers to seamlessly enter the nue style bloodraven moveset of the weapon, which uses the meter you build up.
I think it works similarly for Ryu.

There's a rumor that on the recent MGSD press event the credits included Guy Savage and PlatinumGames were credited as the developer.

And for those who don't know what Guy Savage is, its an optional dream sequence easter egg where Snake has a nightmare that he's a vampire hunter, and its an actual playable demo in the game, it was a teaser but ultimately the game got cancelled, basically the original PT/Silent Hills

That's always a core mechanic but it mixes up the formations in a lot of satisfying and clever ways where you have to jump over or get around different enemies to start the chain, and you get more methods of triggering it with new spider weapons and the Guillotine Charge talisman. The levels and bosses overall have a lot of variety to them.

I remember someone saying that NG4 doesn't have projectile weapons. I watched some more gameplay and Ryu clearly still has shurikens.
If they meant other then those then I don't mind if they are gone. Other projectile weapons were pretty much always just clunky like the bow and served for gimmicky puzzles or annoying snipe moments instead of the actual combat. As funny as the massive cannon in 2 was it didn't really suit Ryu.

What's your favourite projectile weapon across the series? Should they return? I liked the windmill shuriken in 1.

Maybe you should play those games more and experiment. Each side weapon had different properties and usage.
Granted in NGB you had slower usage of bow, but all other side weapons were seamless and crucial to going through harder difficulties.
NG2 you didn't even have to aim it at all, just absorb one essence orb and decap multiple enemies in one go. Even fucking NG3 had cool bow cancels.
I dunno what copium you're huffing that removing unique content is good.
Is them removing all of Ryu's main weapons and selling them later as DLC also a good thing?

Ragebound was pretty buggy, had bad level design and idea how to place enemies in a way that made them a threat from what I recall...

The incredible part is the doubling down on "it's just cut content they removed all of Ryu's weapons how can you be ok with that" as if they haven't also added several entirely new weapons that are at least as indepth if not much moreso than anything previously on top of many new mechanics and tools.

Am I the only one who doesn't want Ryu to have a weapon for each month of the year?

Like yeah, a bunch of them are rad as fuck but from my experience you either end up not using some of them at all or if you it's for very specific situations which completely defeats the point of having weapons with upgrades and such complicated movesets in an otherwise very linear game. Like the kusarigama was one of my favorite weapons in Nioh but I never used its NG equivalent save for the first time I got it.

Don't get me wrong, you still need variety and I don't want Ryu to just have the sword, but I think 4~5 good solid weapons that are balanced and distinct is much better than a 12 which are mostly going to end up shelved. At a certain point you end up wondering why not just make separate characters if you want so many different playstyles which cover the same basics... which is what a ton of action games do to solve this issue anyway.

Quality and quantity is an important balance to strike and a difficult conversation at the best of times. They learned about this already with NG1, and attempted it well enough with 2 (overall game balance aside) which is half the reason why reasonable people might be disappointed at all. People all have their own favourites and when they're handled well it greatly increases replayability, but new weapons lead to new potential for favourites anyway so it's not like NG4 is missing anything in that regard.

- shuriken cancel
- canceling air shuriken with bow aiming on ground
- on landing 360 cancel with wind path
- slide cancel
- block and counter buffering
- changing enemy focus with 4th light attack string
- double air bow shot
also i think ayane might be the flashiest charakter but its so hard timing her shuriken cancel. she can just continue attacking with no pause if you can do her cancel although the other can cancel everything too but not as fast. also can anyone explain how to do the block and counter buffering good it seems really op for bosses.

Uh wouldn't call this tech but the running SST with the sword automatically OTs. And you can OT mid-string by delaying the heavy attack in most cases on all weapons.
You can do running attacks after throwing shrukens out of running/sliding state if you keep the stick active.
You can toss single shuriken out of slide if you keep the stick active and throw it shortly after.
You already mentioned the bow aiming thing but just in case, you can utilize it after slide to reset your state to neutral for Cicada Surge setups
You probably know that Ryu can FS the enemy he windpathed off of but if you do it at certain distance and the enemy blocks the FS, Ryu will immediately hit the ground. You can buffer 360T in advance or do any other attack like both running moves or OL S/T. Only works with DS.
With dual katanas you can do >S/T after cicada surge.
With DS you can input cicada surge and buffer a shuriken toss to skip the teleport animation, useless but looks sick
With Lunar you can redirect your SoB attack onto another enemy after dodging it with a cicada surge.
Cicada surging paracelsus fiend's suicide grab lets you SoB other enemies nearby.
Talons' heavenly justice works during manual UTs, it's helpful to spread damage between several targets. Doing it with the free one ends the UT prematurely unless you start doing it after the third teleport.

Don't remember anything else off the top of my head at the moment. If you any visual demonstration just ask

I don't consider myself hardcore at all. I get filtered by Arkham in DMC3 DMD. But Hero is just too pathetic.

If you beat the legendary hardcore game Ninja Gaiden, you're a certified hardcore gamer. Hero mode is just my play style

Not all of them but I'm decent at the ones I like. There's plenty of them I'd be better at if I sunk more time into them, but I got other things to do.

I'll liked the bow in black, mixed things up but then again I liked a lot of shit from that game that disappeared from the series likely never to return so whatever.
